Both tracks share the same core curriculum, and offer additional tailored courses and domain-specific thesis projects.
The Track in Digital Procurement combines a core curriculum in supply chain management with the study of digitalization and its impact on procurement. The track is actively supported by a number of multi-national companies including Amazon, ArcelorMittal, Cargolux, Ferrero, Leaseplan, SES, and Vodafone, all of which operate their procurement organizations from Luxembourg. The companies contribute to lectures and seminars and sponsor master thesis projects in the area of digital procurement, which offers students immediate access to and insights into large procurement organizations located in Luxembourg. Students who graduate from the track benefit from many local employment opportunities due to Luxembourg’s position as European procurement hub.
The Track in Logistics and SCM has its core curriculum in logistics and supply chain management and studies the improvement of operational processes in these areas. This track partners with companies such as Kuhne+Nagel, Cargolux, Hospitals, ASML, John Deere and others. Graduation projects cover topics such as last mile logistics, the impact of digitization on operational processes, sustainability and reverse logistics, and multi-tier supply chain design. Students who graduate from this track have a broad background and have employment opportunities at local and international companies in the domain of supply chain and logistics.
